Fixed costs are costs that do not vary with the level of output, such as rent and insurance premiums. Variable costs are costs that change with the level of output, such as wages and raw materials.
In a perfectly competitive market, all n firms are equal. Thus, the market total cost is the total cost (TC) of one firm multiplied by the amount of n firms in the market Total Market Cost =Variable Costs and fixed costs ...Fixed costs plus variable costs.
Business firms own the factors of production.
Average total cost determines how much profit or loss a firm will make at a certain output and price. It also determines is a firm should shut down, temporarily stopping production (not covering variable costs) but keeping the business (covering fixed costs), or if it should exit the market (not covering variable or fixed costs).

a perfectly competitive firms supply curve will be the portion of the marginal cost curve which lies above the average variable cost curve (AVC)..this will be due to the firms unwillingness to supply below the price in which they could cover their variable costs

A change in variable cost affects the contribution margin ratio. A change in fixed cost affects the break-even point . An increase in these costs affect the firms profit.
Have a high amount of fixed costs relative to their variable costs. DOL= CM / Net Income We derive CM by the eqaution of Selling Price - Variable Costs If a firm has high variable costs relative to their selling price then they will have a small CM and therefore their DOL will decrease.

These are costs that are incurred to an individual or firm when they are carrying out the activities of consumption or production. They are the costs that those individuals or firms have to pay themselves.
to maximise efficiencies.Efficiencies have direct impact on Costs.
